The beautiful Cebu

High school friends are the kind of friends who'll stay by you despite the distance. And yes, after so many years of not seeing each other, March turned out to be a good summer getaway.


Flight from Manila to Cebu was only an hour and 20 minutes, however to our surprise, there was also airplane traffic on the runway which took us about 45 minutes before we took off. Oh well. It doesn't end there, even in Cebu, it took us 2 hours from Mactan Airport to Ayala Mall (which was supposed to be to the Temple of Leah). Since it was past 6, we opted to dine at Casa Verde where we had a sumptuous meal for only php999 (ribs, chicken, fish fillet, rice and buttered corn). After that dinner we headed to the bus terminal to head to our Inn located in Badian (Ging ging Inn) which took us 4 hours. So sleepy, plus we have to get up early for the trip the following day. Zzzz...


Good morning sabado! 5AM and we're still sleepy! Haha. But the tour guide was knocking at our room already so we hasten prepping up for our day tour.
